^ THanks Pete for all the info - ur very help ful indeed.

THe European DVD i downloaded was the Professional version - so it could well be that as I have a relatively old X5 (2003) that version may not work and that I need to get the High Version. SOmeone has very kindly uploaded the UK 2006-02 High DVD fro this site so I am in the process of getting hold of that - once I do I will try and burn - and fingers cross, get it to work!

I'm not much of a traveller really - but would love the option of having to input destinations via postcode entry - i know its getting really picky - but hey, if we have the option to do so why not rite?

I have the perspective mode running on my current 2002-02 navigation CD and I really like it (shame that the road names do no appear - I really wish BMW could improve their 3D maps to the ones similar to TOMTOMS - I have later nav software releases have this feature).
